I have a 1989 Two Door Buick Lesaber and I agree with the acceleration that the older car gives. but I don't believe that the car is able to growl like a lion. I love hearing that other owner's are as happy as I am.

I agree to most of the comments available for the Buick Lesabre Limited edition 1988 & 1989.

I bought 1988 model last year at 193000km and have driven further to 209000km in just one year, initially had no confidence and reliability on product, but soon realized that it is one of the most comfortable car manufactured by the company.

Yes of course I do agree the heating problem of the car which is unacceptable for a driver like me specially living in Canada, antenna malfunctioning, the dash board glue worn-off, the power locking system gets freezes as the mercury drops below -8 C.

I would be happy If some one helps me in finding cure of heating problem of Buick lesabre.

Last I would give some advise to the holder of the which I do and enjoy ride.

1- I always use 10W -30 Oil even in Canadian winters with some addition of engine treatment Oils such as "Brad's" and "STP" product. It make engine most comfortable even at reduced oil level.

(Try it you will feel the difference gonna cost you 5 to 9 dollars difference on oil expense, but it worth specifically those who drive on Highways)

2- Use fuel injector cleaner to clean the fuel system on a regular interval basis such as twice in a month.

Try it. saving on gas bill is yours, but do not forget to check and change the catalytic convertor of your car ofcourse use good quality spark plugs.

I have test the my car on highways at 120KmPH many times it is fantastic and I love it. Oh the fuel efficiency is like 9-10 km per liter after taking all the above steps.

Good luck to all Buick lesabre owners.

One final thing I have decided that whenever I will go for another car it will buy "BUICK lesabre" only.

1989 Buick LeSabre Limited 3.8 V6 from North America

Summary:

Faults:

There have been a few problems with the car. We did have to replace the transmision, but it was due to go.

The radio antenna became stuck in the up position, but the radio works fine.

The windows are extremely slow moving. They might need to be oiled, or the motor might be going dead.

General Comments:

As a teenager I received this car from my mother who was the originally owner. We have never had much trouble with it. I find it to be extremely comfortable, as my friends call it, "the couch". It might look like an older persons' car, but it drives and performs very well. Extremely good acceleration. Gas pedal is very sensitive, and the opposite with the brakes. Overall it is a great car that has lasted forever and is still running strong.

I love mine and am struggling to replace it. My car has 151,500 original k.m. and is still in great shape, except it was hit and run on the passenger door. The insurance company deem the repair more expensive than the value of the car.

I love the body style, the engine, the power, the feel, and the fact that this car is still metal.
